Well, I'd like to move generally from Fridays idea.
Quote:2) /group formation bonus? Let it be a bonus to powercore regen perhaps? Let it only apply to transports in formation. This allows transports to stay in turret mode and put up a wall of fire - whilst having less worries about running out of firepower.
You can make something like 1 ship in formation - no bonus
2 ships in formation - +10% to regen
3 ships - +20%
and so on
the problem is that it doesn't includes fighters escort in it, so for example, you can take 3 Liners to fly in formation and to pwn everyone who will try to stop you
There might be some bonus with selling it. For example 3 transports of the one offical faction in system, under the one tag - so, + 15% profit (or 30%)
Also, Ivan idea should work well too.
I'll be glad to see if there would be a discounts for buying cardie on Malta for example or for getting slaves on Niverton. But first better to make it only to offical factions. So, it would raise their activity, 'cause dudes would join them to get more money.
